The North Carolina (BB-55) was laid down 27 October 1937 by New York Naval Shipyard; launched 13 June 1940 and commissioned at New York 9 April 1941. North Carolina completed her shakedown in the Caribbean prior to the Pearl Harbor attack, and after intensive war exercises, entered the Pacific 10 June 1942. When the U.S. attacked Guadalcanal in early August of 1942, North Carolina was the only U.S. battleship available to provide protection for the carriers Wasp CV-7, Saratoga CV-3 and Enterprise CV-6. In the Battle of the Eastern Solomon, North Carolina forever changed the role of the new battleships when she shot down seven Japanese planes in one battle. After that battle it would not be uncommon for fast battleship to screen aircraft carriers due to their massive anti-aircraft batteries. On the afternoon of September 15 1942, one torpedo was hit the North Carolina. The torpedo hit tore a hole 10 meter long and 6 meter high in the shell plating and caused 5 dead. After inactivation, she decommissioned at New York 27 June 1947. On 29 April 1962 she was dedicated at Wilmington, N.C., as a memorial to North Carolinians of all services killed in World War II. North Carolina received 12 battle stars for World War II service.

News

To find our Store, just scan the image below with your mobile phone bar code reader or scan.

The web site is fully working and ready to place orders for all our products as well as for all the 2011 new items including Summer items.

Shipping Charges:

This web site is directly connected to FedEx and to the USPS to obtain the rates for shipping.

However, because it may be errors on the weight or size of the item in our database, the total seen at checkout time is just INFORMATIVE and may be adjusted to real freight charges paid to carriers.

Bulky parcels are hard to calculate here as depending on how we can arrange boxes inside the carton, may change the size so dimensional weight may be lower.

Some small items can be packed in a USPS Small Box. If this is the case, we will use Small Box from the USPS, insured and signature required if value is over $ 50.00. This will result in a substantial lower rate than seen in the checkout page.

We will always select the lower and best solution for your parcel.

We GUARANTEE the most accurate and low charges possible based on all the parameter for the parcel to be ship.

All shipments are sent "Signature Required" and "Insured"...

Navigation:

It is very easy to navigate our web site. The best way to use it is playing with the drop down windows on top of each page where you can select in detail not only the Manufacturer but the most detailed category we carry.

Use combinations of Manufacturers and Categories to go faster to what you like to see.

New items 2012 only can start from the left side of the pages under Model Trains, then you can select the Manufacturer.

Any change you do on the search will automatically start your search without the need to pulse "enter key"
